I hope you’ll share the stories of children like Glory, so my next blog post will be the first in a regular series of stories about a few of the children at Shepherds Junior. I promise, they’re some of the most interesting people you’ll ever meet, and, by sharing videos and art, I’ll try to let them share as much of their own stories as possible, without me getting in the way.

We believe this little girl’s song – and other videos and images like this one - have the power to inspire real change. (If you’d like to learn more about Glory, check out her expanded story here.) Technology, like the mashup we’ve proposed, can amplify voices like hers. [...] [...] In this video taken in Tanzania , 9-year-old Glory leads her class in a song about the HIV crisis in her country.

While her incredibly difficult situation is presented realistically, the story is primarily one of optimism and hope. Glory’s story was taken from a blog entry I wrote during our last trip to Tanzania. To me, a blog that’s updated frequently is the single best way to keep donors involved in the story of your organization and the impact of your work. Of course, for donors who aren’t RSS feeders, blog entries can serve as the basis for emails or mailings as well.

You are doing important work and I will try to spread the word to others. I would like to make a donation but don't see where to go. I looked at the cafe (very nice items!) but did not see a place for just a donation without a purchase. Thanks and keep up the good work! Merry Christmas to all!
